First of all where did you find the carrier?

But a good landing starts with a goed aproach wich itself comes from flying a landing pattern.
So start at a thousand feed opposite heading at least the distance of the lenght of the runay to the side of it.
Make speed 140 MPH lower flaps and gear now trim the aircraft.
Fly untill your choosen touchdown point is 45 degrees behinded you. comence a 90 degree turn in the direction of the airfield.
Take note how much distance this turn took before 90 degrees to the hartline of the runway was reached.
On this leg (baseleg) start decending with 100ft pm. So trim the aircraft
Speed maybe 100MPH not more.
To end up right in front of the run way you have to start the turn towards it same distance before crossing the hartline.
When lined up with the runway decelarate to 15 MPH above stall speed ( trim the aircraft) while you seaming landing point is just past the threshold.
When getting to treetop height throttle to idle and put the underside of the sight rectangle on the horizon.
Let speed bleed of but keep the underside on the horizon.
Keep the aircraft flying just above the runway also if it doesnt want to do that and no more, and the plane will lands itself.
After touchdown move trim to tail heavy rol out until the plane is under 30 MPH then brake a bit.

Hope it helps.
